There’s a new sheriff on North Brooklyn’s open streets.
A collective of neighborhood organizations under the banner of North Brooklyn Open Streets Community Coalition (NBOSCC) have banded together to supervise roadways in Greenpoint and Williamsburg now accessible to pedestrians because of the pandemic.
The coalition has eight community organizations so far, including North Brooklyn Neighbors, El Puente and North Brooklyn Mutual Aid, according to Noel Hidalgo, one of the coalition’s volunteers.
Everyday I walk around McCarren Pk u ssd’s ing Berry St at Lorimer south to N12. The barricades have been badly damaged, never in place and cars and trucks just plow through. The police barricades have obscenities written against the NYPD. I sure hope the community workers can fix thg hem up. Lots of shattered wood on Berry St.
